The Sunday School convention
brought their exercises to a close here
on last Saturday. This convention is
lone which knows no color yet we find
amongst that vast throng Of delegates
representing the great work Of the Sun
day Schools and b. their united efforts
Idevising ways whereby they may i'm
prove and promote The schools only two
Of our colored brothers. Your CORE
spondant well remembers yet, although
twelve years age, hen the convention
convened in the city Of Hamilton, Ont,
that he was the only colored delegate
among the vast throng having been
elected to represent the Sunday Schools
Of Toronto, Ont, and now after twelve
years of prosperity, twelve years of adj
yancement, twelve years Of education,
we find the number increased by only
one. Have we no interest in the
schools, more than to go there Sunday
after Sunday, read certain passage of
scripture, pass few comments on it,
sing few songs, and dismiss. It would
really seem as though that was the ex-
tent of our ambition in regards to the
Sabbath School.
Some time ago attention was called
through the columns Of this paper, by
your humble servant, to the state of af-
fairs in louisiana, regarding the colored
race. Since that time your correspon-
dant has received number of letters,
principally from the East, inquiring in
to the truth of the case, and pledging
themselves to assist in extending, light,
liberty and justice, to those poor crea-
lures that are now in a state of ignor-
ance and bondage. Will not few more
lend helping hand for this much need
ed purpose, and by your united efforts
placed in the hands of few of your.
young and intelligent colored men, you
can in the course of twelve months ac-
complish what you have so long been
pitifully crying to your much beloved
and respected Republican admins
tration to do. Stop whining and be
men, it is your cause! do it yourselves.
I might further say that the account IS
narrated in the columns Of the APPEAL
canbe fully relied upon, and any further
information that may be sought for on
the subject will be gladly furnished to
any one, by addressing A. Russell,
221, 3rd avenue, Chicago.

ills not an uncommon thing to notice
learned dispositions upon our ethnologv
by our able contemporaries. Taking the
bible for it, We, unquestionably, are de-
cendants Of Adam, the first man and
Eve, the first woman. 1t does not
matter if we are pre-Adamite or the
direct defendants of Shem, Ham or
Japheth, we are not called upon to have
any dealings with the people of those
days. We have no need to establish
remote parent stock; 100000 of the
colored people now living in the United
States were born here and are therefore
Americans-thats settles it.
In this day and time we get little
credit for what our parents were be it
good or bad, all men and women must
now rise or fall upon their own merits
or dement's. We are Americans, citi-
zens of the United States according to
the Declaration of Independence, the
the Constitution and it's amendments.
and by birth. We are here to stay and
aid whether our mothers and fathers
were bleached by the climate of Cir
cassia or dyed by that of Africa it
matters not, we are human beings with
feeling desires and ambitions such as
other human beings have. We know
We are outraged by our brothers and
sisters, but we intend to grin and bear
it and continue to fight for our human.
rights until we obtain them. Education
and wealth are the lever and fulcrum
that will remove all obstacles, no matter
if either mother sr father originally was
monkey.
So we need not expend any more brain
tissue in trying to determine whence we
came, let us use our best endeavors to
obtain just recognition for what we are.

Mr.. T. Thomas Fortune, of the New
YorkFreeman in the last..issue very ably
defines the necessity and nature of the
proposed Afro-American League. The
idea is a grand and good one and will
receive general endorsement from the
colored press. Something must be done
to improve our condition and it will be
onlysthe better if it assumes a national
character. The numerous organizations
which we now have look more toward
the disposition of our bodies after death
than toward our welfare while living.
There is nothing Utopian about the
ideas advanced and we hope the right
men will take hold of the matter, bury
all petty, personal jealousies and go to
work in earnest to better the condition
ofthe 1900, 600 colored citizens of ou1
country.

The recent serious street encounter Of
Editors Rothacker and Rosewater, in
Omaha, and the more recent Loup City
tragedy enacted by Editors Richardson
and Willard should serve as a warning
to certain personal spite and filth sling
ing quill-pushers of the Colored press.
All editors have not the courage to treat
with silent contempt such attacks, but
resort to the very effective shot gun
argument.
